Well it started by getting the Ring Doorbell we didn’t think it would be much use but ended up loving it so we had some of the cameras installed, We have 2 cameras in back garden and 2 at the front garden, the area is lovely so not really needed but it does reduce the home insurance so that’s a big plus

We have a eufy doorbell camera, a second covering the front door and then a few internal cameras to watch the cat while we're away, that's the only time they ever get plugged in and turned on. The doorbell camera has certainly been helpful for deliveries when we aren't in. Though we've noticed certain delivery companies appear to avoid ringing the doorbell if it's a camera doorbell.

Yodel and Evri do that here but thankfully the motion detection & parcel detection gets them lol
We do have a DPD driver that always does a little dance for the doorbell lol 😂

Our DPD drivers are quite nice too! Yodel and Evri are probably the worst… Our local posties are very nice too.

Have you tried the cucamelons yet @Albus_Scope ?
They look like little alien pods.

I've tried two so far @Teigr they looked oddly intimidating! The first one was too ripe, so was a bit bitter, but the smaller one was very nice. A bit of a shock to the tastebuds, as they don't look like they should taste like a sweeter cucumber. I think they'd be very nice pickled.

I reckon my dog would eat them @Albus_Scope ,she's a big fan of cucumber and melon.

Maybe I can send you some seeds for next year as a special dog treat hahaha. My guys tend not to be so keen on fruit or veg, other than Doofy, he loves a bit of spinach.

Tomato plants in hanging baskets reminded me of my experiment of growing tomatoes upside down in pots👍 You cut a hole in bottom of pot and insert young plant, hang it up and it grows hanging down. It frees up space but only works with certain varieties. Not the type I tried 😂 because it continually struggled to grow upwards and ended up like a grotesque tomato chandelier!! I've experimented with all sorts of veg growing with varies results over the years and I blame Pinterest!!
Love the idea of a fairy garden! I'm planning on a more sensory garden next year, I love the wildlife type garden because you can get away with a lot of disorganised chaos out there 😂 But as my old dog gets less able to go for walks, I thought I'd plan to make it a little more interesting out there for him next summer. He ate the wildlife pond I used to have when we got him. It was a 3ft deep, 10ft wide, lined with pond lining and with a lovely gentle pebbles slope (all thanks to my son) After plunging in it to keep cool during the summer, doggo discovered the edge of the lining and proceeded to eat/pull/dig his way through it 😂😂 Now I've a couple of raised troughs filled with water and reeds that attract dragonflies.
So I'm looking into more dog friendly plants, creating little pathways, little nooks and adding gently noises and smells. So it's back to Pinterest for ideas 👍

My new property I am moving into soon has a massive garden and in one section is a Polly Tunnel which is 40 foot long, with a mist spray system already installed for growing and watering all year round. Can't wait. I have the pond (now drained) so I can reinstate that as well also an area where the kids can play all secured.
I already have my Acer which is 25 years+ old in a pot and has seen two moves and is definitely going with me on this one, back over the pond I usually have again.0 -
The polytunnel sounds very fancy @onebigvoice! What will you plant in there?
